When in Doubt, Felt

Nona's a confident gal, so I can be honest, the nesting socks turned out terribly - not even worthy of the demotion to slipper socks. Let me use a few words to describe them; saggy, bulky, heal-sliding ... you get the idea. Nona-sister4 put in a subtle, sisterly bid for the slipper socks, but I wouldn't wish them on anyone.

What does any good knitter do when face with a project that turned out yucky. No, you don't knit it again to fix the yuckiness -- it's important in life to learn from your mistakes and move on! The correct answer is, you felt them in the washing machine. The Nesting Socks are in the dryer with a bunch of towels as we speak.
